EXCLUSIVE: WHO-led program aims to buy antiviral COVID-19 pills for $10 | Reuters
<< 해당 내용 >>
BRUSSELS, Oct 19
(Reuters)
- A World Health Organization-
(WHO)
led programme
to ensure
poorer countries
get fair access to
COVID-9 vaccines, tests
and treatments aims
to secure antiviral drugs
for patients with mild
symptoms for as little as
$10 per course,
a draft document
seen by Reuters says.
Merck & Co's (MRK.N)
experimental pill
molnupiravir is
likely to be
one of the drugs,
and other drugs
to treat mild patients
are being developed.
The document,
which outlines the goals
of the Access to
COVID-19 Tools Accelerator
(ACT-)
until September next year,
says that the programme
wants to deliver about
1 billion COVID-19
tests to poorer nations,
and procure drugs to
treat up to 120 million
patients globally,
out of about
200 million new cases
it estimates in the
next 12 months.
The plans highlight
how the WHO wants
to shore up supplies
of drugs and tests
at a relatively low price
after losing the vaccine
race to wealthy nations
which scooped up
a huge share of the
world's supplies,
leaving the world's poorest
countries with few shots.
A spokesperson
for the ACT-A
said the document,
dated Oct. 13, was
still a draft under
consultation
and declined to
comment on its content
before it is finalised.
The document will
also be sent to global
leaders ahead of a G20
summit in Rome at the end
of this month.
The ACT-A
asks the G20 and
other donors for
additional funding
of $22.8 billion until
September 2022 which
will be needed to buy
and distribute vaccines,
drugs and tests to
poorer nations and
narrow the huge gaps
in supply between
wealthy and less advanced
countries. Donors have
so far pledged $18.5
billion to the
programme.
The financial
requests are based on
detailed estimates
about the price of drugs,
treatments and tests,
which will account for
the programme's biggest
expenses alongside
the cost of distributing
vaccines.
Although it
does not explicitly
cite molnupiravir,
the ACT-A document
expects to pay
$10 dollar per course for
"novel oral antivirals
for mild/moderate
patients".
Other pills to treat
mild patients are
being developed,
but molnupiravir is
the only one which
has so far showed
positive results
in late-stage trials.
The ACT-A
is in talks with
Merck & Co and
generics producers
to buy the drug.
The price is very low
if compared
with the $700 per course
that the United States
has agreed to pay for
1.7 million courses
of the treatment.
However, a study
carried out by
Harvard university
estimated that
molnupiravir could
cost about $20 dollars
if produced by
generic drugmakers,
with the price potentially
going down to
$7.7 under an optimised
production.
Merck & Co. has
licensing deals with
eight Indian generic
drugmakers.
구체적으로
몰누피라비르를
언급하지는 않았으나
경증 및
중증환자를 위한
신규 경구용
치료제 구입을 위해
코스당 10달러를
지불할 것이라고
언급했다.
하버드 대학의
연구 결과
제네릭 제약사를 통해
몰누피라비르를
생산하게 될 경우
가격은 20달러
최적화 생산까지
이어진다면
7.7달러까지 하락
할 수 있다고
추정했다.
머크사는
최근 인도의 제네릭
8개제약사와
라이선스계약을
체결 했다고 한다.
한편
Atea의 경구용 코로나
치료제 AT-527 은
주평가지표 달성에
실패했다고 한다.
결국 머크사의
몰누피라비르가
게임체인저가
될 가능성이 높다.
가격까지 착해지길~
